Questions before buying for Carputer #67

Closed Queonda1 closed 8 years ago

Queonda1 commented 8 years ago

Hello, Please excuse me if this is the wrong place to ask the question.

Going to build a carputer with the Raspberry Pi 2, and looking at the MoPi. From the Car MoPi circuit (https://pi.gate.ac.uk/images/mopi/in-car.png); Is RP1 and RP2 in the diagram remote switch?

Nice users guide, lots of reading but I'm still unclear of the following:

The unit doesn't automatically power on the Raspberry Pi when power is supplied to S1? Is there a time limit I can program, when S1 drops? Let's say stay on for 20 minutes if on S2 then do controlled shutdown?

I've been seeing linux love, what about Android? Will I be able to do a shutdown with android with MoPi?

hi!

yes, as here: https://pi.gate.ac.uk/posts/2014/07/10/mopi-remote-switch/

no, there is no auto-on -- hence the relays in the car circuit IIRR

Is there a time limit I can program, when S1 drops? Let's say stay on for 20 minutes if on S2 then do controlled shutdown?

you can monitor voltage on the Pi, and do a shutdown when you prefer

I've been seeing linux love, what about Android? Will I be able to do a shutdown with android with MoPi?

no android support -- but feel free to add it :-)

have a good one, h
